The government announced that young people will be banned from social media from Spring 2027, so in this episode Andy and I talk about what these means for anyone supporting young people. We discuss the realities of the ban, as well as offering our advice on how to have conversations with young people about social media going forwards.

I mention the Sexting Safeguarding Training, which you can book on to here: https://ciossafeguarding.org.uk/events/event/sexting-safeguarding-training.

I also mention Johan Hari's book 'Chasing the Scream' which you can buy from all good retailers, or secondhand from World of Books: https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/search?q=chasing%20the%20scream
